Vocabulary Parade

When the note came home that Tara needed to create a costume for the word rickety and present it during the First Annual Fourth Grade Vocabulary Parade, I was glad it was her assignment and not mine.

She decided the best way to portray rickety was to dress as an old woman complete with knitting bag.

She borrowed a walker and put her hair in a bun

She dressed the part all the way to her toes

She even moved slower than molasses.

It was so much fun to see these kids' minds work. They did an amazing job on words like

liter

satellite

lackadaisical

I'm sure they will never forget what these words mean. Kudos to the teacher for coming up with this great teaching tool!
